One common misconception is that Windows System Restore can be used to recover files that have been permanently deleted from the Recycle Bin. While System Restore can indeed roll back system changes, it does not specifically target user files. Therefore, if you have permanently deleted files from the Recycle Bin, relying solely on System Restore may not yield the desired results.
There are several limitations to using Windows System Restore for data recovery. Firstly, System Restore points are created based on system events, such as software installations or updates, and do not necessarily coincide with the deletion of user files. Secondly, even if a restore point exists from before the files were deleted, System Restore does not guarantee the recovery of those files, as its primary function is to restore system settings and configurations.
In some rare cases, using System Restore might indirectly help recover lost data. For example, if a system malfunction or software conflict caused the deletion of files, restoring the system to a previous state might resolve the issue and potentially bring back the lost files. However, this is not a reliable method for data recovery and should not be solely relied upon.
